Sin Cara is a gimmick used in WWE. He was first portrayed by Mistico, and for a period of time by Hunico when Mistico was under suspension, before the two would battle it out on who was the rightful Sin Cara, with Mistico being victorious. Unfortunately due to injuries and other factors, Mistico left WWE in 2014, and Hunico took over the role.

Costume Copycat: Another Sin Cara, who was revealed to be Hunico, in revenge for Sin Cara previously being inserted into Hunico's former role as Mistico.

Disney Owns This Trope: CMLL owns the Mistico gimmick and name. WWE owns the Sin Cara name. He's now with AAA, where he's officially named as Myzteziz. Made even more cleared that CMLL has a new Mistico and WWE uses Hunico as Sin Cara.

Epic Fail: A t-shirt WWE marketed for him had to be pulled after a phallic image◊ was discovered in the design.

And maybe to a lesser extent. His WWE career up till his injury, which was far from botch free. This is due to him not being put through development system first to get used to the WWE style of wrestling, get used to his new mask or learn any English and was put on TV straight away.

Finishing Move: When Mistico was under the mask it was 619 to La Mistica, a tilt-a-whirl headscissors into an armbar, while he was in CMLL. In WWE he does the move without the 619 (since Rey Mysterio) or transitioning into an armbar (because of Alberto Del Rio) which makes it look odd. Also used to do the evolution in WWE, a moonsault side slam which was botched in his first match (actually Primo's fault that time but still). Hunico's is a High Angle Senton Bomb.

Follow the Leader: WWE were hoping to emulate Rey Mysterio Jr's popularity with Sin Cara when they signed Mistico in 2011. This didn't go so well, due to a number of reasons, injuries, not speaking english. He was then released, and with Hunico has taken up the role, time will tell if they do anything with him at all except being paried with Kalisto in NXT.

Put on a Bus: After Mistico failed a Wellness test, he was taken out during Money in the Bank. Then was away due to his injuries he suffered. The he released from WWE in 2014. Not that one would notice really since Hunico is under the mask.

Religious Bruiser: To a degree as Mistico, given who his mentor was. Sin Cara has been seen taking a prayer like pose on occasion as well.

The Voiceless: Subverted. Sin Cara's voiceless most of the time due to Mistico's lack of English. When "Sin Cara" started talking it was the first hint that it was really an imposter (Hunico). However there are a few exceptions:

On WWE's Backstage Fallout that airs on YouTube, he does speak in Spanish, and have Rey Mysterio translate for him.
